The strategy that's been called Strategy A, and which I've been calling
BF(1st) has been worded like this:
The Approval cutoff point goes adjacent to the candidate expected to get the
most votes, toward the side of the candidate expected to get the 2nd most
votes.
[end of Strategy A definition]
But that could be reworded in a way that makes it obvious that it's a Best
Frontrunner version:
The Approval cutoff is between the two expected frontrunners, and is
adjacent to the one that is expected to outpoll the other.
[end of suggested rewording of BF(1st)]
All the BF versions vote for the better of the 2 exprected frontrunners and
not for the other. In other words, they have the Approval cutoff somewhere
between those two. My suggested definition above says that in its 1st part,
identifying it as a BF version. The 2nd part tells what distingulishes it
from other BF versions.
